RACINE, Wis, March Is, 1885.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir Your note of inquiry is just Y
received. | cannot tell you anything
about the stock of Wild Billy. He stood
in Fairmont at the time | used him and
was owned by Mr.. Snow, who afterwards
moved to st. Peters, MINI. Mr.. Willis
Snow of Fairmont, Mimi, can. | think J
give you the pedigree of Wild Billy. The|
dam of Fairmont, Black Nell, is still liv7
ing and will be % mex. May. She Wa
sired by "A Black Hawk horse owned by|
Mr.. Clint Miller of Pecotomen. H., a1
that time. Mr. Miller is dead. have for1
gotten the name of the horse; think it was|
Starlight and while quite young his time|
was , :32, in 1859. But after Black Nell
was sired heard no more of him. Mr.. j :.
A. Armstrong now of Bothgati, Oak, af1
ter quite a search learned the pedigree of
Miller's horse and | might have gotten id
of him, but neglected to do so.
| now own a tive-year-old stallion
Black Larry-sired by Garry Owen and
from the same dam as Fairmont, combin-
ing the blood of Mambrino Chief, Ethan
Allen and George NJ. Patchen, which
bids fair to beat his half brother Fair
mont in trotting.
Yours truly, Fl. FL. HOLMES.

certain her breeding beyond doubt. She
was also the dam of Bay Leonard (trial,
2:27; record, about 32), also Of Tim
Cawley, PAGER (record, 2 az IA; trial
half, l :0D. Miss Cawley has shown
halves in L: 0S. / sold Meta Pine, Miss
Cawley and Tim Cawley to the present
owners. Their records were all made
over a very poor half-mile track. Miss
Cawley's mark was 2 80 l-2 and every
one conceded her equal to beating 2 ;2i
the same day.
She is wonderful gamey mare. | no
tice by report of one of her races that
she won the sixth and seventh heats.

that has shown trials in 2:2S, making
four from same dam capable of beating
80. Miss Cawlev is seant fifteen
hands, brown in color, very stylish, bolt
and resolute in her action and was the

restraint. i don't know If my informa
ton covers all you would like to know
if not, please advise me as to what fur
Their you would like and l will give it.
